Really, Boss?

So I'm in a good mood today and decided to be friendly to The Old Man (pretty much retired owner of the company-real asshat). He said he was goign home for a bite to eat. I said, well, I hope it's more than a bite. He says, no, not really, just a boiled egg and tomato. I said, you gotta throw some cottage cheese on that tomato, make it good! He said, no it's bad for you. I said that I LOVE cottage cheese.

He says...."Have you ever noticed that only fat people eat cottage cheese?"

He was dead serious too. And also an idiot because cottage cheese does have fat in it, but it's the good kind, like in avocados.

DUMBASS ASSHAT.

Re: Really, Boss?

  • Who cares if that's what he thinks, it's extremely rude to voice something like that.  What a tool.

  • I mean, I don't want to be all 'look at me',....but...I'M NOT FAT. And I love the shiit.

  • It wouldn't matter even if you WERE fat (which you're NOT!), that's still a really crass and inappropriate comment to make at work.  He's a moron.

  • I feel your pain.
    My boss, owner and president of the small company I work for, is a little crass.
    He's 84, today is his birthday.

    He's awesome on so many levels, but he doesn't give raises, and doesn't let us have a microwave.
    He says microwaves attract rats, and our sales are down so he can't give raises.
    My house doesn't have rats, and we were interviewed by corporate for having the best sales in our area.

  • I don't think he meant people who eat it are trying to lose weight. Cause he said it's bad for you.

    He's an asshole anyway, I can't stand him.

  • Ugh I had a coworker last year that stated very matter of factly to my other coworker with a Lean Cuisine in her hand that "those things make people fat." She was like ummm thanks. This guy was an asshat and I'm glad he was fired shortly thereafter.

    My boss keeps walking into his office, slamming the door, and letting out some type of moan. The first moan was more of a fuuck, I slammed my finger in the door moan. This latest was an I-was-just-stabbed-by-brutus moan. I'm not having the best day myself, but I'm slightly worried now...
  • HAHAHAHAH. Sorry Birdie, but thats hilarious.

  • And when I was talking with my old doc about being hungry and having low blood sugar, he suggested eating low-fat cottage cheese.

    LVB, maybe your boss is just piissed that his butt is so saggy now? :)
  • I have so little tolerance for people like that. . . I would not have reacted in a good way.

  • You should have said, "Oh really?  I've noticed that certain people who don't eat it are socially-awkward imbeciles."  And then taken a bite and smiled.

    You made me LOL, Bay!

    Yup, dude is definitely a tool. An asshat tool.

  • LOL. He just doesn't get....life.

    He was out with our warehouse guy at pizza hut and there were 2 sheriffs in there. He starts going off on how useless sheriffs and and why do we need them and look at them, how can they be eating at pizza hut, etc. He's an awful human being. And he sends everyone racist political emails.

  • That is so dumb.  Low-fat cottage is totally healthy.  It's got tons of protein and calcium.  I eat it almost every single day with lunch.  Obviously I'm a fat-ass.

    Yup. I don't even know why we're in business. He sends many of them to our clients. It's...horrifying.

  • Wow he sounds like FI's boss. He will go on and on about Obama this and Obama that and blah blah blah not even realizing that there are people in the room that have different views than him. I'm all up for a healthy debate, but I'm also respectful of people who don't see things the way I do! :)
  • This guy sounds like someone whose foot is constantly in his mouth.  I'd pity him more than anything.  I'm sure a bunch of his associates and colleagues think he's an idiot.

    Nope, you're not fat.  And I love cottage cheese, it's a lowfat protein source, a nutritionist's dream.

    My boss does this also.  I'm up for a debate, but not at work.
    Work is not the place for politics. Our workplace is definitely not the place for it...
    We have enough drama without that.

  • I think cottage cheese is gross, so I thought the only people who ate it were those who were willing to eat gross stuff in order to be healthy.  Tongue out
